Interesting questions - I didn’t ask myself one of them. I wanted an adventure and asked my best friend if she was interested on doing a walk together. I thought trekking in the Himalaya. She suggested the Camino - which I had never heard of. I didn’t ask the questions but I found this forum...
What a wonderful thread this is Alex. Thank you and to all the respondents! I have only just started my Camino career doing the Frances last year at 64 years young. I used to be a runner doing all the fun runs I could get my feet into. I wore my hip out and had to have a hip replacement so I...

No need to apologise. I’m sure someone on this forum will know about soy milk coffees. Perhaps more chance of getting them in the bigger places. Good to hear from you!
Will look out for you. We will stop for a coffee and something to eat at Orisson but have booked the Express Bourricot back to SJPdP and then return the next day where they picked us up so we can walk to Rocesvalles.
